A review by willworm
The Witch in the Wood by T.H. White

4.0

TH White has always been complicated, and I have both fondness and a strange conflict with this novel in particular. It’s his strangest of the once and future king, and yet it has some of the most upsetting moments in the series overall. It is setting the groundwork for the series as a whole, for it being known as “the novel for all things sad and lost.” I have a lot of love for it, in spite of its flaws, and those children in the North doing terrible things in pursuit of a mother’s love.
